Move a Raster from a Reference Point

Move a raster image in the drawing window from a reference point. Click the raster to be moved. The clicked point is set as the reference point. Before clicking a new location for the raster, you can change its scale either by using a scale factor or a reference dimension.

  1. Do either of the following:
    • Select Drawing | Tools | Raster Images > Move Raster Image.
    • Drawing - Select Raster Images, and select the drawing. Select the context-sensitive function Move Raster Image.
  2. Click the raster to be moved. The clicked point is set as the reference point.
  3. Scale the raster, if necessary. Right-click and select either of the following:
    • Select Scale factor or press F8, and enter the factor in a text box. The default value is 1. The factor affects in the direction of the x and y axes. A factor value between 0-1 makes the raster smaller, for example, the factor 0.8. A factor value larger than 1 enlarges the raster.
    • Select Measure and set scale. Define the scalable distance by clicking two points, and enter the actual distance between the points in a text box.
  4. Click a new location for the raster.
  5. Quit by pressing the Esc key.
